Beginning with Genesis and the origins of life and ending with humanity’s future, this prologue previews key subjects that will be explored in depth throughout the series.

Professor John Lennox starts the first episode of the first movement right at the beginning of Genesis. Lennox delves into the foundational role of Genesis in shaping our understanding of creation, purpose, and human dignity. He contrasts the biblical account with materialist views, highlighting God’s role as Creator. Through themes like the image of God, the Sabbath, and divine creativity, this episode uncovers Genesis’s profound insights into humanity’s relationship with God.

In Genesis Part 2, Professor John Lennox examines the biblical creation narrative’s alignment with science, showing how Genesis offers a foundational worldview. Reflecting on the Apollo 8 Genesis 1 reading, Lennox discusses different views on the creation days, including young and old Earth perspectives. Through theological and scientific insights, he emphasises Genesis’s purpose: revealing a Creator who brought the universe into being and desires a relationship with humanity, uniting biblical faith and scientific inquiry.

In Genesis Part 3, Professor John Lennox examines evolution, creation, and human origins, exploring how these intersect with Genesis. He addresses topics like theistic evolution, human uniqueness, and the faith-science relationship, offering insights into debates on life’s origin, natural processes, and divine intervention. Lennox argues Genesis complements scientific inquiry, enhancing understanding of human identity and purpose. This talk is for those questioning meaning, existence, and the faith-science dynamic.
